Hapi: Egyptian Deity Figure
A standing figure holds its hands before the upper body above a broad lower torso and rectangular support. The slight angle reveals the depth of the base as well as the figure’s forward-facing profile. The book captions the object Hapi. Light catches the hands and shoulder area, separating them from the darker body in this historical photographic reproduction.
